I was hoping no-one would spot this 😂

It’s just up the road from me (though we’re both in Tier 4, tsk) but I need to wait until I get paid to be able to splash the cash 😖

[Booga13]

Same here but I'm secretly glad it's been posted here and someone has bagsied it😁, I'm supposed to be getting rid of stuff not gathering more, also, I already have one and I'll probably never use that one in anger so having two would just be greedy!

BIN price of £275.....tempting

 

 

Not for me...far too much gear..

[Merton]

Agonisingly close to being paid. I guarantee that it will have gone before I can hit the BIN button 🤣

[whynot]

Would have had it but plenty of bargains to be had in the new year I think with no major gigging due soon. Notice he's selling a TC amp as well. I used a RH750 with my old Barefaced 1x15. Nice combination.

Hopefully gonna get this reserved for collection after Christmas..... 🤞🏻

A friend of mine is looking for a bass rig on a limited budget for reggae and im thinking of showing her this one. She plays a 5 string so i to enable me to asses it based on my own bf cabs i wonder if  anyone has first hand knowledge how this cab would compare to a BB2 or BTII?

Sonically, does it sit between the two soundwise or is it less powerful than the BB2. 

thanks

Here's the original info on the Compact and BBII if that's any help.

It’ll be less hifi than either of those. It’s a great cab and for reggae would be perfect as it’ll take all the bass she can throw at it. I was hoping to buy the cab yesterday but have had to hold fire for various reasons so I’d say go for it!

Anybody want it on the "never never"?

£275.00

 

From £13 per month for 24 months

I think @NancyJohnson has one of these (the prototype?) and he thinks it's great.

I have a Big One (oo-err, Missus) - the first one.  Stupidly good cabinet.

I owned one of the first ones produced and now have a BB2.  I don't think there's much difference in volume but the BB2 would be more detailed sounding.  The Compact is a superb cab and very suitable for reggae.  Plus, they are a total bargain these days.

good sounding lightweight cab for only £250 . luverly

I have 2 and they're fantastic cabs. The best bit is when you pretend they're really heavy and ask your band mates to give you a hand with em.
